Aztec Cuffs

So to my Friday

I woke to  "Morning! Morning!"

Sat straight up 'courier man, my wire'

"Thank you" 

I yell out at least I think I did.

Half awake I hunt for clothes.

Stumbling about.

The day is light and ready to start.

I go to get my package and my door's open.

"Shit!" 

*I shake my head and quietly scold myself for not shutting it*

The heat! Blame the heat!

I grab the packet chuck it on my couch. 

Then go back to bed to wake up.

Later I continue crocheting these...

 Aztec Suns

1. Purple - Yellow - Green

2.Green - Yellow - Blue

3. Red - Yellow - Blue

I went to do one with white but it made it

granny straight away I thought.

I don't know if anyone else will like these

 but that's okay.

I caught some live shows on Mushroom FM

today yay!!!

Through the Luking Glass hosted by @gordonluke

A very cool & colourful show with cool & colourful music.

Great interaction and dishes dance music.

Take a listen - go on!

Continued crocheting...

And I catch another Live Mushroom Show!

Only the Eighties with Bruce @btmushroom

I am an eighties child and loved the music!

The Weird Al Yankovic parodies were hilarious!

I finished crocheting.

Went out to get some glass hearts to wire wrap

and the shop was closed 2pm they close.

I had to look at the website to get the addy...

The hours are up there to. 

Doh!

So I get home and my friend turns up.

Great timing!

She wants 3 red hearts wrapped by Thurs

I have 3 red, I'm rapt!

I have started them and 

am happy to be wrapping again.

Though it was nice to try my hand at other materials.

3 Aztec Sun Crocheted Cuffs

So the sevens coverage has finished on TV1

and I am finished with the detail.

I have my horos to write in blog or on site?

I started this to see 

how the communication would stack up.

I have had a few comments made here, however I

have been putting her out and basically 

tackling people to read it.

I wonder if I had done that in my website would 

I have gotten the same comments...

most likely.

I do like the easy video posting here.

But there is no gallery.

Ideally I'd have a 

 (wall/side panel for peeps to put their tag)

I do like that if comments are made everyone can see them.

But twitter and fb can't be beat for interaction.

I'm off to do my horos and follows and who knows...

bees and things

Well it's my Friday night and I haven't even posted yesterday's.

So what did I do yesterday. 

Thurs 02-02-2012

I saw this odd wasp - honey bee hybrid...

It has the wasp like stripes bright and distinct.

But its back is black and it is stocky like a honey bee,

or even a blow fly.

It sounds like a bee - blowfly, and moves like a hover fly.

First time I've ever seen one.

It loved this tall purple weed with alyssum type flowers.

It even went away and returned with a partner.

I also took this pic.

Of the metallic blue ladybird (ladybug) 

amongst the spikes of the Swan Plant seed pods.

I was pleased with the clarity of this photo.

I stopped to smell the roses.

The scent of this 'antique pink' rose is divine.

I noticed this young adult praying mantis.

Living amongst the spines of this cactus and seeming to
lay in wait for prey to get caught in the spider's web that's 
weaved between the 1.5cm spines.

Clever insect!

I picked these juicy strawberries.

and ate them yum!

Then I plaited wool yeah 3 plait - plaits in many many colours.

I listened to the podcast of

The Twistable Turnable Fringe - Mushroom FM

hosted by

@SkyheRing & @techring

I love these guys banter, they play some great music!

But the banter is fun, funny & a lil crazy.

You have to check it out!

You'll love it!

I started crocheting these...

I call them 'Aztec Suns' 

I love this blue, yellow and green one. 

Then I grabbed another Mushroom podcast for the

Sit and Spin show hosted by @silly_singer

She played some beautiful songs I'd never heard before

and some really good covers to.

A great show to accompany my night.

Listen to the podcast you will enjoy.

I then read more of 

Claude Bouchards (exciting) Discreet Activities

before a 2am kip.

to blog or not

Well I was tuned into MushroomFM til after midnight 

I listened to the Double Top 10 
hosted by Richard Bartholomew @glenbuck1

Then I caught a little of Love Songs 
and then made myself turn it off.

I needed sleep.

When I woke tuned into

The Mosen Explosion with @JonathanMosen

Great music for my Monday morning.

Great discussions on twitter with Jonathan and features unique to his show.

I said Happy Anniversary to a few of my Auckland tweeps.

Auckland Anniversary 

(wikipedia)

One being @JamesHancox

who is an amazing photographer!

I then trawled through some of his work

 James Hancox - flickr 

I'm trying to find a fave out of the many AmAzing shots!

No easy task!

Take a look you'll understand!

During my brief cyber break:
 I ran around the house,
practised bombing onto my bed,
vacuumed, showered, and made this:

'a faux key'
Faux gem - glass bead
Faux gold - brass wire

Keys seem to be what's hot in jewellery.
So I just had to, you know.
I also like the sound of, a faux key.
*grins*

Then at 8pm New Zealand time

@kiwisnake

Brought the Mayhem to Monday with his show

Monday Mayhem

To say it was an animated show would be the truth.

As Anthony told of how he, his brother & friends discussed

Snorks and other animations.

Cartoon theme songs became the talk of the show.

Anthony played a couple of theme songs.

Just happening to have Jem in his extensive music collection.

Then he decided that the 13th of Feb's Monday Mayhem

will be an animated theme event.

So join the characters and craziness you'll love it!

Next Monday is New Zealand's Day

Waitangi Day - (nzhistory.net.nz)

Anthony will be featuring Godzone's musicians

You need to check it out Kiwi's have some amazing talent!

Singers to!

If you need some sounds to accompany your day.

Check out

MushroomFM

Something for everyone!

and the coolest DJ's you've yet to meet.


So anyway I'm trying to see the advantage of a
website (nonsensemostlymine)
over this - a blog -
Here I can post this single post.
You can reply just down there to this post.
Tweet it or Share.
The post on my site is like a trickle in a stream.
No tweetin, or sharing of, just that post.
Commenting is done via the box which goes to me alone.

I'm thinking I'll go back to blog. 
It's where I started.
"Vizzini said go back to the beginning."

So PLEASE let me know what YOU think.
To blog or not?
